ALIVE: SPIRIT OF UNITY AND DIVERSITY

God of Justice, Love and Mercy

Verse 1: God of justice, love and mercy, pour Your wisdom on our souls

By Your all sustaining power keep our spirits strong and whole

Lift our eyes to see Your vision of a world in urgent need

Grant us courage then to follow, bringing comfort with each deed

Verse 2: God of justice, love and mercy, with compassion let us care

As we come in humble weakness, may Your strength be ours to share

Press our hearts to know the struggle of the ones we cannot see

Brothers, sisters, all who suffer, may Your kindness set them free

Verse 3: God of justice, love and mercy, send us out and make us bold

As we strive for Your high calling, let our hands Your mercy hold

You have blessed us with abundance, gifts to share with those in need

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, may we follow as You lead

America

Verse 1: O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain

For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain

America! America! God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea

Verse 2: O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife

Who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life

America! America! May God thy gold refine

Till all success be nobleness, and ev’ry gain divine

Verse 3: O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears

America! America! God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea

Way Beyond Me

Verse 1: There’s so much that really matters and too many who don’t care

The world that God intended seems way out there somewhere

There’s so much that makes a difference; and too few who take the time

To shape what God envisioned with a mission focused mind (chorus)

Chorus (2x): Take me, Jesus, way beyond me, Jesus

I will love you, Jesus, when I serve the ones you love

Verse 2: When the voices plead for justice and the servants heed the call

Believing leads to action or it isn’t faith at all

We can recreate the future for all in need of hope

It’s the logical extension of a passion driven soul (chorus)

Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)

Verse 1: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a soul like me

I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see

Verse 2: ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed (chorus)

Chorus: My chains are gone, I’ve been set free, my God, my Savior has rescued me

And like a flood his mercy reigns, unending love, amazing grace

Verse 3: The Lord has promised good to me; his word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures (chorus 2x)

Verse 4: The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine

But God, who called me here below, will be forever mine

Will be forever mine; You are forever mine

Live Like You

Verse 1: I hear Your voice, calling us into the mystery

Awak’ning hope inside a world of need, changing everything

Still I stay in the safety of this path we chose

Scared to risk too much and feel exposed, but You say there’s more

Chorus: I want to live what I believe, what You’ve spoken in me

I will follow Your voice and who You’ve made me

Embolden our lives and reveal Your light, I want to live like You, Jesus

Verse 2: Take this life and reflect the one who heals all things

Using open arms to let all in, leaving none unclaimed

Open me, inviting in the ones I’ve kept outside

Choosing grace and love where I’ve held pride, You change everything

Chorus 2: I want to live what I believe, what You’ve spoken in me

I will follow Your voice and who You’ve made me

Embolden our lives and reveal Your light

I want to live like You, Jesus; I want to love like You, Jesus

Bridge: For my brothers on the margins and sisters on the streets

Fill me with compassion and the strength to intercede

Let prodigals and prisoners and legalists I meet

Find your love pouring out of me as I help them to their feet

God, move me into action even as You make me new

I surrender to Your movement reconciling all to You (chorus 2)

Ending: May we live like You, Jesus
